December 1966 - William Tell’s guys, Mustang Sally, Frank, Monkees, Australian folkies, and For What it’s Worth |
Here is one for Mr. William Tell ! Destined to be big movers for the next couple of years, the first "super group" , Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, & Ginger Baker - Cream , had their debut album come out this month .

I LOVE this record . The groove these FAME Studios, Muscle Shoals guys put down ! And Pickett is just unbelievable .

Guess who had another big hit in December .”That’s Life” starts to sound like the parody Frank of later years . Still like it . Fun .

The studio version, with the ballpark organ, and girlie background singers.

One of those guilty pleasures, The Australian folk group had this huge hit features in the film by the same name, “Georgy Girl” . As a kid I remember you heard this, or some other version, everywhere .

A great slice of Pop-Rock . The Neil Diamond penned “I’m a Believer” .

And the flip side was the harder edged song, first recorded by Paul Revere & The Raiders , “Steppin’ Stone” .

The first album from this LA band, Buffalo Springfield (for those who don't know, this is where Neil Young, and Stephen Stills come into the picture) came out this month . The song "For What it's Worth" came out as a singe, and and soon was added to the album . "Stephen Stills was inspired to write the track because of the "Sunset Strip riots" in November 1966. The trouble, which started during the early stages of the counterculture era, was in the same year Buffalo Springfield had become the house band at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles." wiki The police crackdown signaled the end of LA being the hippie/freak epicenter, and the "scene" move north to San Francisco .

And, of course, 67 would be the year of San Francisco, so the last post will be our scruffy heroes .

You know, I need more info on the LA/SF timeline; it is intriguing how the DEAD regularly went back and forth, living in LA for weeks at a time, eh? During this early era, as I read up on it the past ten yrs, I was struck by that (eg, discussions of the production of the first two albums, the Shrine shows, etc)...even at the time that the "in" group said "66 was the real summer of love" in SF, we see this draw to LA, which then dwindles. There are obvious hints of this in your various tidbits, DD--good stuff.
CREAM fans know that the next 12 months (ie DEC--JAN, 66-68) are the real peak...
